In this study, we investigated the processes that health professionals in New Zealand follow when diagnosing autistic children and adults. We asked 117 health professionals from a range of services and regions in New Zealand, how they identify and diagnose autism. We found that there are differences in the way that clinicians in New Zealand diagnose autism. We identified areas in which autism diagnosis in New Zealand could be improved, for example, by establishing more services to diagnose autism in adolescents and adults, and providing more consistent support after a person is diagnosed with autism. These findings will help to improve autism diagnosis in New Zealand.

Are child autism symptoms, developmental level and adaptive function associated with caregiver feelings of wellbeing and efficacy in the parenting role? / Lauren J. TAYLOR in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 83 (May 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 83 (May 2021) . - 101738 Titre : Are child autism symptoms, developmental level and adaptive function associated with caregiver feelings of wellbeing and efficacy in the parenting role? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lauren J. TAYLOR, Auteur ; Sze Y. L. LUK, Auteur ; Kathy LEADBITTER, Auteur ; Heather L. MOORE, Auteur ; Tony CHARMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101738 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parent  Mental wellbeing  Self-efficacy  Child functioning  Autism symptoms Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Many parents of children with autism have low levels of mental wellbeing, which may be related to low self-efficacy in the parenting role. Few studies have investigated the impact that child characteristics such as autism symptoms, development and functioning have on parental wellbeing and self-efficacy. In this study, we investigated associations between parental mental wellbeing, self-efficacy and child measures of behaviour and function, for families participating in the Paediatric Autism Communication Trial-Generalised (PACT-G). Method Parents of children with autism (N = 248, aged 2–11 years) completed self-report measures of mental wellbeing and self-efficacy. We used a range of parent-report and researcher administered assessments of autism symptoms, child development, emotional and behavioural difficulties, language and adaptive skills. Nonparametric tests (Spearman’s correlations) and multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the associations between child characteristics and parent wellbeing and parental self-efficacy. Results Parent mental wellbeing and self-efficacy were highly related. Results of bivariate analyses showed significant negative associations between parent-reported child autism symptoms and parental self-efficacy. Higher child adaptive behaviour was also associated with better parental-self-efficacy. However, in a multivariate regression model, only high parent reported autism symptoms were associated with lower parental self-efficacy. Parent wellbeing was not related to any feature of the child’s profile. Conclusion These findings indicate that parent-reported autism symptoms are associated with parental self-efficacy, and that self-efficacy may be an important secondary outcome of interventions for children with autism.

Are there differences in the behavioural phenotypes of Autism Spectrum Disorder probands from simplex and multiplex families? / Lauren J. TAYLOR in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 11 (March 2015)

WHITEHOUSE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.56-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Behavioural phenotype  Simplex and multiplex families Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent research suggests that different genetic pathways may operate for families with one child affected with Autism Spectrum Disorder (simplex ASD), compared to families that have multiple affected children (multiplex ASD). In this study, we investigated possible differences in the behavioural phenotypes of probands from simplex and multiplex ASD families using parent-report and standardised behavioural measures. Participants were 59 probands from multiplex ASD families (28 families), who were each matched on chronological age and sex with two probands from simplex families. Probands from multiplex families had greater social impairment (measured using the Social Responsiveness Scale) and worse pragmatic language (on the Children's Communication Checklist-2) than probands from simplex families. However, the multiplex children had less severe symptoms than the simplex children on the ADOS-G, and a significantly higher proportion of multiplex children did not meet autism spectrum cut-offs on this measure. These findings indicate that there are behavioural differences in children with ASD from simplex and multiplex families. In addition, the results reveal an important discrepancy between parent-report and clinician observation of autistic-like characteristics in siblings of an affected child, which may have implications for the assessment and diagnosis of ASD.

We conducted an exploratory study that examined the concordance of diagnoses between a multidisciplinary assessment team and a range of independent clinicians throughout Australia. Nine video-taped Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) assessments were collected from two Australian sites. Twenty-seven Australian health professionals each observed two video-recordings and rated the degree to which the individual met the DSM-5 criteria for ASD. There was 100% agreement on the diagnostic classification for only 3 of the 9 video clips (33%), with the remaining 6 clips (66%) reaching poor reliability. In addition, only 24% of the participating clinicians achieved ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ levels of agreement (Cohen’s kappa?>?0.6) with the original ASD assessment. These findings have implications for clinical guidelines for ASD assessments.

The associations between ESB scores, language and autism symptoms were assessed in 249 children aged 2-11 years. The results show that ESB subscale scores (social responsiveness, joint attention and symbolic comprehension) were significantly associated with concurrent autism symptoms and receptive and expressive language levels. The pattern of association between the ESB subscale scores differed between the ADOS-2 symptom domains and expressive and receptive language. These findings indicate the potential utility of the ESB as a measure of preverbal social communication in children with autism.
